1 Samuel 28
1 And it came to pass, in those days, when the Philistines gathered together their hosts for war, to fight with Israel, that Achish said unto David, Thou must, know, that, with me, shalt thou go forth in the host, thou and thy men.
| وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ جَمَعُوا جُيُوشَهُمْ لِكَيْ يُحَارِبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱعْلَمْ يَقِينًا أَنَّكَ سَتَخْرُجُ مَعِي فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالُكَ». | ١ |
2 And David said unto Achish, Therefore, now, shalt thou know what thy servant can do. And Achish said unto David, Therefore, keeper of my head, will I appoint thee, all the days.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيشَ: «لِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ سَتَعْلَمُ مَا يَفْعَلُ عَبْدُكَ». فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُكَ حَارِسًا لِرَأْسِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ٢ |
3 Now, Samuel, was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city, —Saul, moreover had put away them who had familiar spirits and them who were oracles, out of the land.
| وَمَاتَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَنَدَبَهُ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ فِي مَدِينَتِهِ. وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ قَدْ نَفَى أَصْحَابَ ٱلْجَانِّ وَٱلتَّوَابِعِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٣ |
4 So then the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came in, and encamped in Shunem, —and Saul gathered together all Israel, and they encamped in Gilboa.
| فَٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَجَاءُوا وَنَزَلُوا فِي شُونَمَ، وَجَمَعَ شَاوُلُ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلَ فِي جِلْبُوعَ. | ٤ |
5 And, when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled exceedingly.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ جَيْشَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ خَافَ وَٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبُهُ جِدًّا. | ٥ |
6 Then Saul enquired of Yahweh, but Yahweh answered him not, —neither by Dreams, nor by the Lights, nor by prophets.
| فَسَأَلَ شَاوُلُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا بِٱلْأَحْلَامِ وَلَا بِٱلْأُورِيمِ وَلَا بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 Then said Saul unto his servants—Seek me out a woman that owneth a familiar spirit, that I may even go unto her, and enquire of her. And his servants said unto him, Lo! there is a woman that owneth a familiar spirit in En-dor.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «فَتِّشُوا لِي عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ صَاحِبَةِ جَانٍّ، فَأَذْهَبَ إِلَيْهَا وَأَسْأَلَهَا». فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ صَاحِبَةُ جَانٍّ فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ». | ٧ |
8 Saul therefore disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and departed—he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night, —and he said—Divine for me, I pray thee, by the familiar spirit, and bring up for me—whomsoever I shall name unto thee.
| فَتَنَكَّرَ شَاوُلُ وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابًا أُخْرَى، وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَرَجُلَانِ مَعَهُ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ لَيْلًا. وَقَالَ: «ٱعْرِفِي لِي بِٱلْجَانِّ وَأَصْعِدِي لِي مَنْ أَقُولُ لَكِ». | ٨ |
9 And the woman said unto him—Lo! thou, knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off them who have familiar spirits and him who is an oracle, out of the land, —wherefore, then, art thou striking at my life, to put me to death?
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «هُوَذَا أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلَ شَاوُلُ، كَيْفَ قَطَعَ أَصْحَابَ ٱلْجَانِّ وَٱلتَّوَابِعِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَضَعُ شَرَكًا لِنَفْسِي لِتُمِيتَهَا؟» | ٩ |
10 So then Saul sware unto her by Yahweh, saying, —By the life of Yahweh, there shall no punishment befall thee for this thing.
| فَحَلَفَ لَهَا شَاوُلُ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَلْحَقُكِ إِثْمٌ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ». | ١٠ |
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up for thee? And he said, Samuel, bring thou up for me.
| فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «مَنْ أُصْعِدُ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَصْعِدِي لِي صَمُوئِيلَ». | ١١ |
12 And, when the woman saw Samuel, she made outcry with a loud voice, —and the woman spake unto Saul, saying—Wherefore hast thou deceived me, thou thyself being Saul?
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ صَمُوئِيلَ صَرَخَتْ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَكَلَّمَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ شَاوُلَ قَائِلَةً: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي وَأَنْتَ شَاوُلَ؟» | ١٢ |
13 And the king said unto her—Be not afraid, but what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, A god, saw I, coming up out of the earth.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لَا تَخَافِي. فَمَاذَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِشَاوُلَ: «رَأَيْتُ آلِهَةً يَصْعَدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٣ |
14 And he said to her—What was his form? And she said—An old man, coming up, he being wrapped about with a robe. Then Saul knew, that it was, Samuel, so he inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himself down.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَا هِيَ صُورَتُهُ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «رَجُلٌ شَيْخٌ صَاعِدٌ وَهُوَ مُغَطًّى بِجُبَّةٍ». فَعَلِمَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ صَمُوئِيلُ، فَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ. | ١٤ |
15 And Samuel said unto Saul, Wherefore hast thou disquieted me, by bringing me up? And Saul said—I am in sore distress, for, the Philistines, are making war against me, and, God, hath turned away from me, and answereth me no more—either by means of the prophets, or by dreams, therefore have I even called for thee, to let me know, what I am to do.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا أَقْلَقْتَنِي بِإِصْعَادِكَ إِيَّايَ؟» فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «قَدْ ضَاقَ بِي ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. اَلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي، وَٱلرَّبُّ فَارَقَنِي وَلَمْ يَعُدْ يُجِيبُنِي لَا بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَلَا بِٱلْأَحْلَامِ. فَدَعَوْتُكَ لِكَيْ تُعْلِمَنِي مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ». | ١٥ |
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore, then, shouldst thou ask me, —when, Yahweh, hath turned away from thee, and hath come to be with thy neighbour?
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَلِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنِي وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ فَارَقَكَ وَصَارَ عَدُوَّكَ؟ | ١٦ |
17 Therefore hath Yahweh done for him, as he spake by me, —yea Yahweh hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to a neighbour of thine—to David.
| وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ يَدِي، وَقَدْ شَقَّ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِكَ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِقَرِيبِكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ |
18 As thou didst not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, neither didst execute the glow of his anger upon Amalek, therefore, this thing, hath Yahweh done unto thee this day;
| لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ فِي عَمَالِيقَ، لِذَلِكَ قَدْ فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِكَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْيَوْمَ. | ١٨ |
19 that Yahweh may deliver, Israel also, with thee, into the hand of the Philistines, and, to-morrow, thou and thy sons with thee are about to fall, —the host of Israel also, will Yahweh deliver, into the hand of the Philistines.
| وَيَدْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا مَعَكَ لِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَغَدًا أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ تَكُونُونَ مَعِي، وَيَدْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا لِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | ١٩ |
20 Then Saul hastened, and fell prostrate—the whole length of him—to the earth, and was sore afraid, at the words of Samuel, and indeed, no, strength, was left in him, for he had not eaten food all the day and all the night.
| فَأَسْرَعَ شَاوُلُ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى طُولِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَخَافَ جِدًّا مِنْ كَلَامِ صَمُوئِيلَ، وَأَيْضًا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ قُوَّةٌ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ طَعَامًا ٱلنَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ وَٱللَّيْلَ. | ٢٠ |
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and, when she saw that he was greatly terrified, she said unto him—Lo! thy handmaid hearkened unto thy voice, and I put my life into my hand, and heard thy words which thou didst speak unto me.
| ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى شَاوُلَ وَرَأَتْ أَنَّهُ مُرْتَاعٌ جِدًّا، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ سَمِعَتْ جَارِيَتُكَ لِصَوْتِكَ فَوَضَعْتُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي وَسَمِعْتُ لِكَلَامِكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتَنِي بِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 Now, therefore, I pray thee, hearken, thou also, unto the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of food, and eat thou, —that there may be in thee strength, when thou goest on thy journey.
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا لِصَوْتِ جَارِيَتِكَ فَأَضَعَ قُدَّامَكَ كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ وَكُلْ، فَتَكُونَ فِيكَ قُوَّةٌ إِذْ تَسِيرُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ». | ٢٢ |
23 But he refused, and said—I will not eat. But, when his servants, and the woman also, strongly urged him, then hearkened he unto their voice, —and rose up from the earth, and sat on the bed.
| فَأَبَى وَقَالَ: «لَا آكُلُ». فَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدَاهُ وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا، فَسَمِعَ لِصَوْتِهِمْ وَقَامَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى ٱلسَّرِيرِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Now, the woman, had a calf fattening, in the shed. So she hastened, and sacrificed it, —and took meal, and kneaded, and baked thereof, unleavened cakes;
| وَكَانَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ عِجْلٌ مُسَمَّنٌ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَذَبَحَتْهُ وَأَخَذَتْ دَقِيقًا وَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْ فَطِيرًا، | ٢٤ |
25 and brought near before Saul and before his servants, and they did eat. Then rose they up and departed, the same night.
| ثُمَّ قَدَّمَتْهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَأَمَامَ عَبْدَيْهِ فَأَكَلُوا. وَقَامُوا وَذَهَبُوا فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ. | ٢٥ |
